Iceland doesn’t have to be expensive. Take a campervan tour of the Golden Circle and visit the sights of the Ring Road on this budget-friendly Iceland itinerary-all for just $2.8k!<\/p>\n

Iceland may be the best bucket list destination in the world, a transcendent place where you can climb huge glaciers, catch the Northern Lights and walk among the icebergs of lava beaches. Indeed, we were surrounded by beautiful scenery at every turn – it’s not often that your jaw drops right after leaving the airport!<\/p>\n

Another sunset in Iceland<\/p>\n

Of course, these exotic spots don’t come cheap. As one of the notoriously expensive Scandinavian countries, Iceland’s prices are staggering. For example, a slice of bread in a convenience store costs about S$8!<\/p>\n

But you don’t have to break the bank to see the best of Iceland! We’ve done this for the wallet burners of Switzerland and Norway , and now, here’s our budget-friendly take on the Land of Ice and Fire.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We even offer an epic campervan experience so you can fall asleep under the stars (or even the Northern Lights). A trip to Iceland is an epic trip in itself, but doing it in a camper van turns a road trip into an adventure – so if you’re up for it<\/p>\n
